Why Did The Other Mogwais Hate Gizmo So Much?


In this one and the first one?

Kate: What do you need 2 Bs for?
Gibbs: Second ones for bastard

reply

because gizmo is a nice dude, while the other mogwais are evil bullies.

reply

Same as the first movie, something about being created with water corrupts the spawned gremlins. Maybe there's a way to screen the good ones, but notice through all the movies Gizmo tries to follow the rules.

Amy: I swear to God...I swear to God! That is NOT how you treat your human!

reply

Because Gizmo was trained not to reproduce himself and stay out of bright lights, unlike the other ones. They figured he would try to stop them from doing that and their mischief.

reply

He wasn't trained, he was a rare good mogwai. According to the first novelization, only 1 in 10,000 were like him.

reply

No, I thought that Mr. Wing trained him to be afraid of the bright lights, etc. I haven't read the novelization.

reply

The term mogwai means evil spirits, demons, something of that nature...

They dont like Gizmo because he is good, innocent and they are just pure evil.

reply

I always figured it was like, as in some animal and insect societies, the newest "dominant" hatchling will kill or displace the old dominant in order to be the unchallenged leader of the group/swarm/flock/whatever.

reply

I think it is like with Casper the Friendly ghost, except Casper doesn't go all Rambo and try to destroy the other ghosts.

reply

Because he is too pure for them. He's a lovely little thing and the others are mischievous little shits.
